Job Summary

As an Enterprise Customer Success Manager (CSM), you will shift the focus of customer management from a standard, task-driven process to an insight-driven strategy. In this role, you will own the entire lifecycle management of our highest-value enterprise accounts—guiding clients seamlessly from post-sale onboarding to strategic optimization and renewal.

You will serve as a strategic business partner and advisor, completely responsible for driving the deployment and full adoption of Prisma Airs and our broader Enterprise AI security product portfolio. By partnering closely with client stakeholders and C-suite executives (such as CISOs and CTOs), you will ensure that automated security workflows deliver clear business value, maximum return on investment (ROI), and long-term partnership growth.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Lifecycle Management: Act as the ultimate owner of the customer journey, managing everything from initial onboarding and feature adoption to risk management, retention, and account expansion. Ensure the customer’s overall business objectives are continuously achieved.

• Strategic AI & Product Adoption: Guide enterprise customers on how to effectively embed and adopt our AI-powered security features directly into their daily corporate workflows. Ensure clients maximize their investment by actively using our products to automate repetitive processes securely.

• Business Impact & Executive Reviews: Analyze customer health metrics and product usage trends to proactively address drop-offs in engagement, prevent churn, and uncover expansion opportunities. Prepare and deliver strategic Quarterly and Executive Business Reviews (QBR/EBR) that focus heavily on measurable business outcomes and security ROI.

• Cross-Functional Advocacy & Coordination: Act as the central point of contact for the customer. Partner with internal Product, Sales, and Engineering teams to escalate high-priority issues, advocate for client needs, and share customer insights to directly influence our future AI product roadmap.
